  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release

    Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release

    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

    Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991

    Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Newsletter September 2017

    Newsletter September 2017

    The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales North Ceredigion Group Newsletter September 2017 1. Chairperson’s Introduction Summer has flown by and hopefully you have had plenty of chances to get out and enjoy the abundance of local natural history. One of the highlights of the summer for me was taking part in an event organised by Dyfi Biosphere who have been focusing on Welsh legends. I was partnered with local storyteller Peter Stevenson for a story walk at Cwm Clettwr on 5 August. Local families who had not previously visited the reserve joined us for a delightful stroll from the Cletwr Cafe. Peter’s legends interwove perfectly with the natural history. The find of a marbled magpie moth near the river was interesting as their caterpillars feed on elm (thanks to Tony Allenby our county macro-moth recorder for this information). The dormice at Cwm Clettwr have continued to thrive with good numbers found during the summer. Speaking to those who attended the story walk highlighted to me how invisible most of our reserves are to non-members, even Cwm Clettwr, which must be one of our more easily found locations. Following up on this, the Local Group Committee are interested to find out how many visitors visit the North Ceredigion reserves. I will be asking at the next couple of indoor meetings for a show of hands to help us collect this information. We are currently updating the species lists for many of the reserves with the help of many volunteers and some paid expertise – there will be more on this at a later date.

Roedd hi wedi bod yn bwrw’n drwm ers oriau, ond doedd dim arwydd bod unrhyw beth anarferol ar droed tan amser cinio. Toc wedi un o’r gloch y cychwynnodd hi, wrth i ormod o ddŵr arllwys i lawr y ceunant i lifo o dan borth y fynwent. Ymhen dim, roedd y dŵr yn rhuthro i lawr lôn fach yr eglwys, yn chwalu’r gornel ac yn sgubo i lawr y ffordd tua’r rheilffordd. Roedd yn anodd credu nerth y dŵr – boncyffion a cherrig oedd yn rhy drwm i’w codi, yn cael eu llusgo gyda’r llif i lawr drwy’r pentref. Mae dau foncyff mawr a gariwyd gan y dŵr wedi eu gosod y tu allan i Dolgelynen, os hoffech brawf o’i rym! Mae’n brawf o gymeriad y gymuned y daeth cymaint at ei gilydd y prynhawn hwnnw i geisio atal y dŵr rhag niweidio tai ac eiddo. Does dim diben ceisio enwi pawb a fu wrthi’n clirio sianel y nant, yn dargyfeirio’r dŵr ac yn gosod bagiau tywod a chloddiau pridd i arbed y dŵr rhag llifo i gartrefi, heb sôn am glirio’r llanast a adawodd yn ei sgil. Digon yw dweud y cafwyd cymorth gan drigolion o bob cwr o’r pentref yn ogystal â ffermwyr ac eraill sy’n byw ar gyrion Llandre.
  • Llangeitho & Welsh Revivals

    Llangeitho & Welsh Revivals

    Llangeitho and Welsh Revivals D. Geraint Jones Wales, like America, has been called the land of revivals, and throughout its history has known many periods of blessing. The period between 1735 and 1905 was a time of almost continual blessing, with very few years passing without there being a revival somewhere in Wales, either on the local, regional or national level. There were few places that were so signally blessed during a large part of this period than Llangeitho in Cardiganshire. Revivals Under Daniel Rowland During the ministry of Daniel Rowland, from his conversion in 1735 until his death in 1790, there are said to have been about seven periods of powerful revival. Some of these are have been recorded, and we know when they occurred, but concerning others we have no accounts, or do not know for sure when they happened. The first, early in his ministry, is said to have begun while he was reading, or rather praying, the words of the Anglican Prayer Book Litany, 'By thine agony [in Welsh 'extreme agony'] and bloody sweat'. John Owen, one of Rowland's early biographers, says: 'The touching and melting manner in which Rowlands repeated these words, affected the whole assembly so much, that they almost all wept, and wept loudly... Many in the congregation were really convinced and converted, as their subsequent conduct proved.' In 1762 a very powerful revival broke out at Llangeitho as a result of the introduction of a new hymn-book by William Williams, Pantycelyn. It spread throughout Cardiganshire, and several other counties, even reaching North Wales.
  • Post Medieval and Modern

    Post Medieval and Modern

    A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales Select Bibliography, Southwest Wales Post Medieval and Modern A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales Southwest Wales – Post Medieval, bibliography 22/12/2003 This list is drawn from a number of sources : a small number derive from the original audit by Cambria Archaeology; more from a trawl through Ceredigion County Library, Aberystwyth; some from published bibliographies, but most from an incomplete search of current periodical literature. The compiler does not claim to have run all these to earth at first hand, so some page references, the names of publishers and some places of publication are missing. It should be noted that not all apparently authoritative published bibliographies - on the web and off it - are necessarily as complete as might be expected. Some may be biased by the interests or prejudices of their compilers. The Website on Mining Bilbiography is a good example. It excludes certain materials on processing and hydrology, and omits virtually everything the present writer has written on dating mines! The present writer regrets if his equally subjective selection inadvertently omits anything significant to the interests of its readers, but welcomes notification of it.
